Progressively worsening stutter

Progressively worsening stutter When I was a kid, my stutter never really bothered me. Even now I've had it for much too long to be embarassed about it. I've accepted that I'll always have it and that...

Guarantee 95% of the class is on facebook or reddit, and the 5% who are paying attention probably know more than you and the teacher. The teacher is probably bored, as one usually is with their job, b...

As someone who’s finishing up their bachelor’s degree, I can tell you that you never feel 100% confident doing presentations (stutter or no stutter), but they do get significantly easier. I’ve stutter...

I can relate to this so well...currently going for a bachelors degree and I already know it will be a struggle with all the presenatations I will have to do. I’m always afraid that once I graduate, fi...

Yep definitely. I completely messed up my French speaking exams because of my speech and in hindsight I don't think that was actually fair. I shouldn't be marked down by something I can't control. M...

Does any of you stutter more when speaking on foreign language?

Does any of you stutter more when speaking on foreign language? I managed to reduce my stuttering closely to zero when it comes to speaking on my native language but when I speak on English or German ...

Thank you so much for your post. Good stuff to ponder. I’d agree that confidence is ABSOLUTELY key. As we all know those pre/teen years aren’t the most confident time for most kids- those with no impe...

I was on the speech team my senior year. It was tough when I didn’t do well but super rewarding when I did. A few times I had to stop because I lost confidence, but my best piece was in a duo which ma...

The only things I have said today was "Hi!" when I passed the neighbor in the hallway and "No thanks." when the cashier asked if I wanted the receipt. I live alone in a one person student apartment an...

It was pretty bad to be honest. To set the scene, I stutter the most when speaking in Chinese although I can speak fluently when I'm alone, it has caused me to get bad grades because the teacher think...

This is just amazing! I also used to do theatre when I was a teen, and I didn't stutter at all when I was on stage. Crazy! r/mademesmile...

Hey there! As I read your post I could see high school me. I also started stuttering around 4th grade (I was 8), just like that out of the blue. Completely neurological, all those speech therapy seeme...

I’m a 16 year old guy who stutters, and I agree, it’s literal hell. Therapy also didn’t work for me, and I haven’t done it for months. My stutter is pretty bad, and no one can give good suggestions on...

First off I want to say I'm so sorry. High school is hellish for everyone, but especially for people who stutter. When I was in high school we'd go around the class and each person had to read a parag...

It may never go away, but keep in mind that high school sucks. You will get made fun of most there and once it passes it gets easier. Most people grow up and learn that making fun of others is rude. Y...

I stuttered more while in middle school age 11-13, where I was pretty much mute. Got better every year. It started getting better when I stopped caring so much about it. ...

I stuttered worse around 13-16 yes, but you could also attribute that to the stress of being in a hyper social environment everyday (school) ...

I hate that. I had teachers redirect a question to another student when I'd block. Fortunately some of my friends have better manners than those teachers (grade school). Anymore I just keep going an...

I agree, but I’m 30 now. When I was 16 “let’s go around the room” would definitely induce PTSD in me. Even going to schools would trigger me in early adulthood. I hated school so much....

Identical to me pretty much, even I studied computer science and am 22 I just finished a mcguire course though and feel a lot more confident and speaking better Are you a good programmer? You could ...
